It is sad to see you go, Imbrogno, if only for a few days. We never spoke IC, but I have seen you just sitting there in Galadon in your Shrine Room.. and in fact, one time I saw you on the eastern road recently and followed you.. (hoping for some loot *grin*) You are a well played character, quite competent, and very necessary to CF. You, being an Arbiter, might not be able to "declare war"... But, you have other means to speak against the rager's vast numbers.
I'm sure you've met a few bards in your lifetime, have them write up eloquent notes to the land, discouraging them to be "one of the masses" and encouraging them to be "on the losing side, for WHEN the other side falters, you achieve greatness if that vulnerability is exploited." If I sat down and thought about it I'm sure I could scribe up a nice scroll to do just what I mentioned, but I'm sure your name attached would have more "influence" shall we say.
You are respected, spread that... I'm sure you can. I KNOW YOU CAN! Do it for Thera. Better yet, throw on a few other people's names that believe in your cause. You know what this will do, right? It will cause a note war. I see it now. And to be honest, the side opposite you lack the intelligence and organization to do anything about it.
Ragers are powerful. Confuse them. The mages of the land... Sleep a rager. Leave. Don't attack, you'll die. Leave, get some experience. This psychologically destroys your opponent and even will have Ragers looking over their shoulders.
You can never achieve Greatness when you are one of the herd, when you are told what to believe and how to believe it. You can never achieve Greatness when you are a Slave.. Whether it be as a member of Empire or of the Battleragers. YOU (people other than Empire/Battle) have been psychologically destroyed... and I'm sure you find yourself pissed OOC... This shouldn't be. It's not hard to defeat your enemy, just sit and think... PATIENCE is your number one ally.
*tip*
c 'sleep' rager
A rager's pierce EVISCERATES you!
A rager's pierce MASSACRES you!
A rager's piece misses you.
A rager's piece DISMEMBERS you!
You are DEAD!!
...*doh*...

> Welp, I've grown tired of the bullshit and frankly it's not fun anymore. I've been a part of a cabal that is being shackled to complacency and inaction and so it has sapped all fun from the game. I need, oh, 3 or 4 days of hair pulling and cussing at my computer before I can even think of returning.

> It's that or delete and I swore that I wouldn't delete this character out of frustration or anger. Quintius and I have been asking for war for 3 weeks and we're getting no immortal feedback on the subject and it says on the pillar that only immortals can declare war so fuck it. I'm tired of the sandbagging. I'm tired of only being able to retrieve and not being able to dish out any punishment of my own.

> Yes Minalcar, I just logged off after losing the book. I'm sure you'd have spouted that all over the place and pointed fingers so I'll beat you to it. Yep, I logged off, but I had the first "delete" typed in so I did the smart thing.
